Resources

This hub contains a variety of information including:
My favorite resources, recommendations, and the handouts used in my book The Quest for Happily Ever After.

If you’ve read my book, The Quest for Happily Ever After, you may have discovered a Study Guide in the back. On page 258 I’ve included a Rules of Engagement Covenant for you to complete with your partner. You can also find that document here to print out at your convenience. The Study Guide page 267 mentions a Replenishers and Depleters exercise. You will find a PDF version of the exercise as a worksheet here as well.
